22 articles done, only one to go!
I posted the 22nd article today: How to Draw Oak Bark for DeviantART friend "Peachfuzz" who asked me to do this one. She was having trouble with oak bark. It went a bit complicated including crosshatching, but I still listed it as Moderately Easy because it's just filling outlines of squiggly shapes and you don't have to get it perfect to make it look good. I will edit it to Moderate if a beginner tries this project and has too much trouble with it.
Again, I'm not posting the illos for these easy projects because I'm still waiting to hear about the DemandStudios contract. This one will count for both the $50 bonus for more good articles (being at least as good as my other articles) and for DemandStudios. I want to do more than ten for DemandStudios both to cover any that I do post the art or use it, and to be able to cover it if any of them get rejected. I definitely want to do the DemandStudios thing.
I need 27 articles to submit ten for payment, and actually 29 if I do only the ones so simple I'm not reposting the artwork. This is inconvenient but I don't think my requested amendment to repost at DA etc. and sell prints is going to be a big deal because it's not real competition -- it's not like I'm writing different tutorials off the art and selling those to other competing sites like Helium.
